“With today’s reader applications, they can copy and paste things poorly, in a fixed format, but can’t edit the documents. “PDFs are common, but users don’t understand the differences between them and Word documents,” Microsoft’s Julia White told me during a recent briefing.

Instead, this compatibility is aimed at editing. However, Microsoft tells me that Word isn’t designed as a general purpose PDF reader, like Adobe Reader. In my experience, Word’s performance opening a PDF-it actually converts these documents to the Word document format during the process-can be leisurely, especially for larger and more complex PDFs. PDF reading occurs through Word’s improved Read mode view and includes all of the features you’d expect to get while reading Word documents, including automatic, columnar reflow. And Publisher and other applications can save or export publications and documents to PDF format, albeit in a read-only format. Today’s Office 2013 feature focus is a two-for-one deal: Word 2013 now lets you read and edit documents in Adobe’s popular PDF format.
